2026 marks the 16th anniversary of Twelfth Step Ministry’s annual “Family Gratitude” Dinner, and we have much to be grateful for. What began in 1989 with two recovery meetings has grown into an organization that supports 21 substance and behavioral addiction recovery fellowships through more than 50 weekly meetings.

Twelfth Step Ministry at the Center for Spiritual Development, along with Honorary Event Chairs Judy and Jim Gibbs, is proud to welcome father and son, best-selling authors:

David and Nic Sheff

David and Nic Sheff bring a deeply moving story of addiction, heartbreak, healing, and hope. Their journey became known around the world through Beautiful Boy, the bestselling memoir and acclaimed 2018 film starring Steve Carell and Timothée Chalamet.

As a father and son who have lived through the devastation of addiction and the hard-won freedom of recovery, they speak with extraordinary honesty and compassion. Their story is a powerful reminder that addiction is a family disease—touching parents, children, spouses, siblings, and loved ones, but that healing, connection, and peace are possible, even after the darkest seasons of life.
